Roger Wallace, the radio color analyst of Texas football, answered readers' questions about the Texas Longhorns during a live chat on Wednesday. Here are some highlights:

What do you like most about Manny's D?

Roger Wallace:The chaos. I sit there watching as Craig calls the play and I'm trying to figure out how to describe all the different pre snap movement. We saw in the Holiday Bowl how it wanted to play it, pressure from everywhere.

Is Texas treating Manny like the next coach-in-waiting or did we decide that didn't work?

Roger Wallace: No, that has probably come and gone with Muschamp. Still convinced it wasn't a total bust because it may have kept him around for the 2009 season, there were some pretty good jobs out there he turned down.

Any chance the Cowboys sneak up on us? We tend to start slow in these openers. Who should we watch out for from Wyoming?

Roger Wallace: I think Texas will be ready, it’s not like they're looking ahead to New Mexico.

I recognize you may not be able to say much about the current fiasco that is the Longhorn Network start-up, but many of us season ticket holders/Longhorn Foundation members feel as though UT has become somewhat of a laughingstock over the state of negotiations with potential carriers. Was there perhaps some miscalculation by us or ESPN over how much resistance the major carriers would have about the asking price for a "niche" sports channel?

Roger Wallace: Texas made a great business decision, but they are not in the cable negotiating business so they had and have to trust ESPN. I can't see LHN at home or work either.
